Petroleum-related pollution remains a persistent threat to aquatic ecosystems in the Niger Delta, particularly in communities near active oil infrastructure. This study assessed total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and selected 5 heavy metals (Chromium, Cadmium, Lead, Nickel and Zinc) in sediment and two edible benthic organism the periwinkle (Tympanotonus fuscatus) and the mangrove crab (Callinectes amnicola) samples collected at an oil company"s pipeline p...

The convergence of remote sensing (RS), artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced computational modeling presents a paradigm shift in addressing interconnected environmental crises. This research demonstrates how this integrated framework delivers actionable insights for biodiversity conservation, pollution mitigation, and climate adaptation. RS provides high-resolution, temporal data on habitat extent, deforestation rates, pollutant dispersion, and climate variables. AI algorithms, particularly machine learning,...
